#healinghearts

Right now, school closures are creating a crisis for families—especially parents of students with disabilities, English learners, and low-income households. Many cannot work, face mounting stress, and urgently need safe, reliable childcare. #healinghearts is answering this need with a parent-to-parent childcare program that connects vetted caregiver-parents with families in immediate need. We need your help to scale this vital lifeline.
